October is Dental Hygiene Month. Follow These Tips to Save Your Teeth

Preventing bad health outcomes is almost always cheaper – and less painful – than trying to repair damage. Nowhere is this more true than oral health.

October is when dental professionals observe Dental Hygiene Month. Dental hygienists specialize in providing preventive care during your regular oral health check-ups. They clean the surfaces of your teeth, removing plaque and tartar. They may also apply sealants or other fluoride treatments to protect your teeth from decay.

You can help your dental team preserve your oral health by following a few simple steps throughout your day. Taking time now to protect your teeth and gums can save you money (and your teeth!) later.

Save Your Natural Teeth With These Oral Health Tips

  1. Visit your dentist for check-ups and cleaning at regular intervals. For some people, twice a year is plenty. Others need more frequent examinations. Talk to your dentist about how often to come in.
  2. Brush twice a day, and floss daily. These two habits are the foundation of good oral health.
  3. Stop smoking or do not start. Limit alcohol. Smoking can damage your gums. Alcohol can aggravate dry mouth, a condition that fuels tooth decay and gum disease.
  4. Eat a healthy diet. Include several servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Good choices include carrots, apples, and berries. Regular consumption of dairy foods provides calcium, an important nutrient to strengthen your teeth.
  5. Use a mouthguard for contact sports. Mouthguards are a must in football, basketball, baseball and other high-impact sports. You should also consider them in sports such as cycling and rock-climbing, where one mistake could result in your teeth suddenly hitting a hard surface.
  6. See an endodontist for teeth-saving procedures. Endodontists specialize in oral health conditions threatening natural teeth, such as infection in your dental pulp or broken/fractured teeth. They rely on extensive education and advanced technology to save natural teeth with a minimum of pain.

“Our practice advises patients daily about the importance of oral health self-care,” says Dr. Jacqueline S. Allen, founder of Phoenix Endodontic Group. “Choices you make daily about your oral health can play a significant role in how your natural teeth serve you over your lifetime.”

What is the Process For Getting a Dental Implant?

dental-implant

Placing something artificial in your jaw can be intimidating. However, modern dental implant practice has been around for more than 50 years and is safe, health-enhancing, and life-changing.

If your endodontist recommends a dental implant to replace one or more natural teeth, understanding the process can help you better prepare. Here’s a brief summary.

Steps In The Dental Implant Process

Step 1: Evaluation and planning. Before the actual implant is placed, you’ll have an appointment where your endodontist performs a comprehensive examination. They will take X-rays or use technology like Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) to get a three-dimensional image. They also review current medical conditions (such as diabetes) and develop a treatment plan.

Step 1a (as needed): Bone graft. If your jaw isn’t strong enough to support the implant, you may need a bone graft before the implant. This requires a separate appointment, with time in between, allowing the graft to heal.

Step 2: Pre-op preparation. Your endodontist will discuss preparations for the dental implant procedure. This includes whether you need antibiotics or should eat before your appointment.

Step 3: Natural tooth removal/dental implantation appointment. You will receive anesthesia (local or IV), ensuring the procedure is pain-free. Failing natural teeth are removed. Next, the endodontist places a titanium tooth root implant in the empty bone socket. They finish with stitching the gums above the implant.

Step 4: Osseointegration. After your dental implant is placed, the healing period lasts several months. As the bone in your jaw recovers, it grows around the implant – a process known as osseointegration. This results in the implant being solidly anchored in the jawbone.

Step 5: Placement of abutment and crown. The final step is placing the abutment, which sits atop the implant post and attaches to a crown. If you are missing multiple teeth, the abutment can also attach a set of overdentures, replacing an entire arch of natural teeth.

“Dental implants take time, even if the implant procedure only takes one appointment,” says Dr. Jacqueline S. Allen, who practices with Phoenix Endodontic Group. “We are happy to discuss step-by-step the dental implant process, so you feel 100 percent comfortable 100 percent of the time.”

After getting a root canal, it`s important to take care of your tooth to ensure proper healing and prevent complications. Here are some things to avoid after a root canal:

🦷Chewing on the Treated Tooth:
Avoid chewing on the treated tooth until the restoration (such as a crown) is placed. The tooth may be temporarily weakened, and putting excessive pressure on it could lead to fractures.

🦷Eating Hard or Sticky Foods:
Steer clear of hard and sticky foods that could potentially damage the tooth or the temporary restoration. Opt for softer, easy-to-chew foods during the initial healing period.

🦷Hot and Cold Sensitivity:
You may experience some sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures after a root canal. Avoid consuming extremely hot or cold foods and beverages until the sensitivity subsides.

🦷Poor Oral Hygiene:
Continue to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. However, be gentle around the treated area. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to avoid irritation.

Always follow the specific post-operative instructions provided by your endodontist. If you have any questions or concerns about your recovery, give us a call 📞 (602) 242-4745
